2 Operation
To start ALICE click the ALICE Button beneath the image processing configuration list in the input tab of ALGUI. Any preselected image processing file will be applied in ALICE, as long as it is compatible with ALICE’s configuration. If not, or if no file is selected at all, ALICE will be opened with default settings. Geometry, loader LUT and calibration can be preselected before opening the ALICE window or inside the ALICE window. If a chosen setting is not compatible with the ALICE configuration default values will come up.
The ALICE window is separated into the viewer area and the configuration area photo.
2.1 Viewer area
The viewer area includes the viewer window, timeline, projectable area, pixel info and display settings. It offers a visual control of the raw input sequence and is used to create interactively the configuration parameters. A preview shows the actual position of the final images on the film.
•The ‘original’ view shows the original raw input images.
•The ‘processed’ view accurately displays the effects of the chosen filter and geometry settings (output format, crop area, deinterlace, sharpen and CMS, if activated).
•The ‘film’ view shows the processed images positioned on the film for final control.
•The ‘timeline’ is simply a display of a frame range. By default it is the length of the clip or sequence. It does not limit or control the actual start/end parameters saved in the jobscript.
